Seanad: Order of Business (19 Nov 2014)

Terry Leyden: I second the amendment to the Order of Business tabled by Senator Darragh O'Brien. Today is national water day and the Government is trying its best to rescue the situation. It has been a political disaster for the Government and the country. The household charges should have been amalgamated. A far more logical approach would have been to insist the property tax had an element of water...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Business of Committee (13 Nov 2014)

Terry Leyden: I second that. You and your team - the clerk, secretary and others - did a very good job. It was streamed live. RTE contacted me yesterday and I confirmed it was happening. RTE was there today as well. It was very good and the streaming idea was brilliant. The fact that you opened it to our diaspora around the world allowed anybody who wished to get involved with the discussion to get...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Business of Committee (13 Nov 2014)

Terry Leyden: He is a rogue from Westmeath. He was educated in NUI, Maynooth and University College Cork. He got an excellent education in Ireland. As a result, he has achieved a first in the world, to land on a comet. It is a pretty exciting day and I thought the streaming of your speech today was also very much modern technology at work. Well done.

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Nov 2014)

Terry Leyden: This is something historic which has been ten years in the making, as the probe has made a 4 billion mile journey through the solar system. It is a great success story and nice that an Irish scientist is involved. That is why I would like to recognise him in the Seanad and us to send our best wishes to him in Madrid and wish him well on this great achievement for Ireland and the world.

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Nov 2014)

Terry Leyden: I wish to bring the Seanad a bit away from its parochial situation to look to the stars and to mention Laurence O'Rourke from Westmeath, one of the joint leaders of the Rosetta project. He is one of the two scientists coordinating the Rosetta mission at the European Space Astronomy Centre in Madrid, a mission that has been very successful. It will give people great support and hope that...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Nov 2014)

Terry Leyden: I agree that we should have a debate on the report by the Garda Síochána Inspectorate under Chief Inspector Robert Olson. It is a one-sided report. I note the comments by the Acting Garda Commissioner, Noirín O'Sullivan, that the men and women of An Garda Síochána are focused on providing a police service of which the people of Ireland can be proud. I am certainly...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Nov 2014)

Terry Leyden: I can see from where Senator Conway got his great grasp of politics, namely, the master himself. Well done to Professor Brian Farrell on the production of his intelligent student here in the House. I share the sympathy expressed to the family of Brian Farrell. I knew him very well. He married into the Dillon family from Ballaghaderreen. I, too, met him at the conference in Ennistymon....

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Nov 2014)

Terry Leyden: I agree with Senator Bacik, in that an invitation should be sent to the group to attend the Houses during next year's web summit. I am not referring to all of the 20,000 people. I met the group last night. The city was humming. Business has been created. I wish to pay tribute to Mr. Paddy Cosgrave who initiated the summit.
